Commuters walk over tracks in front of a stationary train at a railway station in Mumbai, India, Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012. About 15,000 people die every year trying to cross the tracks of India's mammoth rail network, a 'massacre' that a government committee said was being ignored by railway authorities. About 6,000 people die on Mumbai's crowded suburban rail network alone. Another 1,000 people die when they fall from crowded coaches, when trains collide or coaches derail, it said. Around 20 million people in India travel by train each day.
